Pickleball“Rio Verde has excellent pickleball courts. The community has made a real commitment to this sport.” - Darlene Dailey, Colorado

One of the hottest new sports, pickleball has many enthusiastic players here. Rio Verde has four courts and provides balls and racquets for guests and those wanting to give it a try. Even those who have never picked up a racquet enjoy playing for pleasure, exercise, and lots of laughs. We offer casual play and competitive tournaments.

Bocce BallRio Verde’s bocce ball court is a favorite gathering spot. This ancient Italian game closely resembles bowling and requires a bit of skill and strategy and a little luck. It is best played during cocktail hour with a nice glass of Italian wine or in the club’s Bocce, Beer, and Brats tournaments.

“We love hiking and biking in McDowell Park. Just knowing this parkland will always be here makes us smile.” - Jack and Jill Arnold, Michigan

Rio Verde is a hiker’s paradise, with the three-million-acre Tonto National Forest and 21,000-acre McDowell Mountain Regional Park just outside our front door. Rio Verde even has its own trailhead into McDowell. The park is open to hikers, mountain bikers, and horse-back riders. Pick any trail and enjoy towering saguaro cactus, desert flowers, birds, and the occasional large-eared jackrabbit.

Tonto National Forest extends from Rio Verde to northern Arizona. The forest is a wilderness, with rugged, unmarked trails and wild horses.

Hike in solitude or with friends, or join the Rio Verde hiking group, which organizes monthly, guided hikes throughout the area.

Golf Course Walking TrailsEvery morning before the first tee time, Rio Verde residents are invited to walk or jog the cart paths of the golf courses. You can even walk your dog on a leash. A great way to start your Rio Verde day!

ArtFree your creative self among friends. Rio Verde’s on-site art studio offers professionally guided classes in drawing and painting and plenty of room for many easels. Learn from local artists how to make decorative gourds, wooden sculptures, and jewelry. Join the art league and enjoy or even help organize art shows, demonstrations, or the monthly Phoenix Art Museum lectures.
